No mine's not chipped. I've also heard of ESP being a little over intrusive but i leave it on all the time in my other car and never had any problems. I think the problems that people are referring to are when they pop their clutch and expect the ESP to give them the perfect start, it's not a launch control system, it's primary function is safety. Obviously if you pop the clutch your going to get wheelspin, and that's what the system tries to counteract end result, you don't go anywhere! Although i've only seen it come on a few times whilst accelerating hard in gear it's never been a hindrance, it's just dropped the power enough to gain traction. At the end of the day it all depends on your driving style and what you want out of the car, if you want your tyres to last a bit longer with the added safety then get it, just remember to turn it off when you want to have some fun :wink:
